We're Becoming A "Concealed Carry" Country

Politicians have begun to realize that their position on depriving Americans of the right to self-defense and the right to own and carry the means to that defense, a gun, is not the best way for them to go. In Colorado alone, THREE legislators have lost their jobs directly because of their stance on gun control (two were recalled, and the third resigned in the face of yet another recall). Other politicians all over the nation have been defeated in their most recent elections by pro-gun candidates. Illinois just sent out 5,000 “carry permits” due to a change in their own laws. Anti-gun fool predictions of “gun fights” over traffic altercations have not happened, but they still predict it. At the same time, violent crime rates in most places with better gun laws have gone down significantly, something anti-gun fools deny. But the mainstream media, which would have happily published reports of violent crime rising as a result of “looser” gun laws, have not done so. Responsible people ARE responsible, even if (especially if) they’re armed. As Robert Heinlein said on one of his many books, “An armed society is a polite society.” (Washington Examiner)
